Heroes Podcast Exclusive on Zune Marketplace, Debuts Tomorrow

Posted by Jason Dunn in "Zune Media" @ 04:05 PM

"In anticipation of the upcoming release of the “Heroes” soundtrack album from NBC Universal, "Heroes" executive producer and director Allan Arkush has crafted five unique music video podcasts that will be exclusively available for free download on Zune Marketplace. Each video short features exclusive edits of "Heroes" footage set to select tracks from the album. Nada Surf's "Weightless" provides the soundtrack to the first video, which debuts February 29 on Zune Marketplace and MSN (http://tv.msn.com). Four additional music video podcasts will roll out on Zune Marketplace leading up to the album's release on March 18. The podcasts will feature the exclusive new releases “He's Frank” by Brighton Port Authority featuring Iggy Pop, “Not Now But Soon” by Imogen Heap and “Keeping My Composure” by The Chemical Brothers featuring Spank Rock, as well as “Man In The Long Black Coat” by Bob Dylan. "Heroes" fans can collect all five and easily sync them to their Zune portable media player to watch on the go."



If you're a Heroes fan (and I count myself among that group), this will definitely interest you - the music on Heroes has always been quite unique and compelling. Want to subscribe with your Zune software? Hit this link. Full press release after the break. Read more...

Red Zune to Sell for $220 Exclusively at Target, Amazon for 30 Days

"Microsoft unveiled the latest version of its Zune music player this week with an announcement that the new, brightly colored red Zune will go on sale at a retail location whose brand is closely aligned with the very same color - Target - and also at Target's online retail partner, Amazon.com. The red Zune will be available exclusively at Target and Amazon.com for 30 days beginning Sunday and then will be available at the same retail locations where Zune currently is sold thereafter. Red Zune will retail for $220 and have the same tech specs as its Zune peers."

The red Zune goes on sale tomorrow, but only at Target stores and Amazon.com, at least for 30 days. It will also debut at $220, which will nicely coincide with Father's Day, which is coming the following Sunday.

Interestingly, the iPod Amnesty Bin was mentioned at the end of the article: "The 'iPod Amnesty Bin' was a lighthearted gesture among Zune employees and was intended to be simply a humorous motivator for only the people who are working on the project," Ball says. "It was not a company-wide program, and the bin is no longer in the lobby of the Zune building." C'mon guys, it was a joke. You didn't need to take it away because some people didn't get it...
